Keeping Sabbath


~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

t

Then one of the elders spoke up and said to me,

"Who are these wearing white robes, and where did they come from?"

I said to him, "My Lord, you are the one who knows."

He said to me, "These are the ones who have survived great distress;

they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the lamb."

Revelation 7:13-14



Sweet Sophia passed away on 1 November, 2018

all saints day.

She was 12 years old and had been fighting  DIGP brain tumor for 20 months.

This verse was part of the readings of the day.

    So young, so sorrowful. I will continue praying for her parents.

    What an amazing verse to read at a funeral. Every time I read the Revelation, I am stopped in my tracks by the imagery and the way it makes death seem like walking through a door into another world.

    So sad when someone so young passes away. She has seen the face of God, but her poor parents must miss her. I will keep them in my prayers.

    I can only imagine as parents that is the most heart rendering pain there is to ever have to bear. Lovely verse with the imagery of the sweet child now clothed in white and with God for eternity. Heartbreaking. Prayers for the peace that only God can give. :(

    We know the truth about heaven and eternal life, yet our loss is still immense and so painful. May God comfort you during this time.

    Glad there was comfort in that reading, and yet the loss is so heartbreaking. Lord, have mercy.

Abby and Hopie time

  ~ ~ ~ Abby and Hopie go to the beach. On Saturday my granddaughter, Abigail, asked if she could come to her Hopie's house all by herself. Of course, I said I would love that! Her older brother, Verne, wanted to go to a friend's house and her younger sister, Natalie, is too young to be away from mum for an overnighter. So...it was me and Abigail for the weekend. She wanted to stay 2 nights! I think she may have been slightly motivated by the need for some alone time and Natalie's late night crying. ~ We cooked homemade cornmeal waffles together for breakfast. When your grandmother is a Montessori teacher you learn to cut your waffles up by yourself. You can see the concentration on her face.  I didn't help at all! Verne's first day of Kindergarten! I drove up in the morning to watch him get on the bus! He loves it! On Monday morning Abigail and I drove back up to her house. My daughter, Hannah, came over with delicious donuts and Bonnie made a breakfast of bacon, s

a basket from the farmer's market

  A basket from the farmer's market. When I was a child my mum always had a fruit basket on the kitchen table.  Fruit was always an option if we were hungry at any time during the day. I had the same when my children were young and I noticed while visiting my daughter last week that she had a basket of apples on her table for her children. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree... I tend to put a basket of vegetables on the table as well.  Root veggies mostly since they don't need to be refrigerated.  I think that they look beautiful and why should fruit have all the fun! My favourite part is that everything (even the basket) came from the local farmer's market. It's so important to support local farmers.

On the table

 ~ ~ ~ A bit of reading material.  I've been collecting books again... I've almost finished Think Indigenous.  My daughter bought it as a gift for me but decided to read it first. She loved it so much it took her a bit to part with it. I am loving it as much as she did and have put it down almost all the way through  because I don't want it to be over.  Macro tex
